Pakistan on Sunday (October 24) created history as they crushed India by 10 wickets in a T20 World Cup 2021 fixture at Dubai International Cricket Stadium to end their losing streak in the World Cup tournaments against the arch-rivals.
Before the game, former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar and India's veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh had engaged in banter.

With the result going in Pakistan’s favour, Akhtar is now trolling Harbhajan on social media. On Tuesday (October 26), he posted a video on Twitter which was recorded ahead of the match and reminded Harbhajan of his words that Pakistan team will break the hearts of 1.5 billion Indians.
“My dear friend Baji just pulling your legs,” Shoaib wrote in the caption.
To which, Harbhajan replied: “Bandha ban ja.. time badalte time nahi laggega.. you will soon be on receiving end.”
In response, Shoaib Akhtar wrote that he wants India to reach the finals, perhaps revealing his wish to see another India-Pakistan clash in the summit clash.
“Want India to be in finals my brother & you know that .But b4 that thori bohat masti zarori hai..,” the ex-Pakistan pacer said.
Coming to that marquee clash, Pakistan had restricted India to 151/7 in 20 overs on the back of Shaheen Afridi’s sensational spell of 3 for 31 in four overs. India’s famed batting line-up couldn’t rise to the occasion and Virat Kohli was the top scorer with 49-ball 57.
In reply, Pakistan rode on unbeaten half-centuries from Mohammad Rizwan (79* off 55 balls) and captain Babar Azam (68 not out off 52 balls) to overhaul the target with 13 balls to spare.
